Protesters are hit by water cannons used by the police as they try to march towards the headquarters of the ruling Grand National Party during a rally against the South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement (FTA) talks in Seoul. The ruling and opposition parties called off a parliamentary plenary session scheduled for Thursday amid a standoff over the free trade agreement with the U.S., forcing a delay in handling the key pact by at least another week.
